QsoNet uses the internet to receive audio signals from a ham radio transmitting station, then instantly reflects the audio back to all stations listening on that frequency.
There is no RF. Everything is done over the internet. The result is a simulated ionosphere for worldwide amateur radio communication.
Stations can use voice, CW (Morse code), PSK and FSK modulation.

QsoNet works with dialup, DSL and cable internet connections.
There is no need to configure router ports.
The network consists of an array of internet servers which provide streaming voip audio between stations.
After installing transceiver software, QsoNet stations are connected to a central server by a single, outbound TCP connection.
